Home >> Asia >> Vietnam >> Perfume Pagoda
 

A couple of hours outside Hanoi is the Perfume Pagoda.

Apparently Vietnamese boats are not built for fat foreigners. Our boat had very little clearence to the water. Every time a motorized boat would pass us, we'd have to wave at them to get them to slow down or their wake would sink us. Hiking up to the Pagoda. It was a pretty long trek - about 1 hour at a good clip. And it was over 90 degrees (30 C), but 3000% humidity. Inside the Perfume Pagoda. The smoke is from the burning incense. The altar inside the Perfume Pagoda. The Gate of Thiên Chu
